^^hard at work on the pea fort^^
Spring! Spring! Spring!
I know it's been spring for over a month now, but around here, it's finally starting to feel like spring, too... and we just can't get enough of it! We've been spending nearly all day, everyday outside - soaking up the warm air and watching the world wake up from its wintry sleep. Ahhhhh!!!!
Elise's practical life skills have expanded to include digging, planting, weeding, watering - and building! I've been drooling over pea trellis teepees and stick forts for some time now on pinterest, and we finally decided to combine the two ideas and build a pea fort. Yay! I am so excited for Elise to have her own nook to play in outside this summer, and to experience growing and eating her own food. So far, it's just a frame, but soon we'll plant peas, beans, and some other climbing plants, and *hopefully* they will grow and cover Elise's little fort with leafy green goodness.
I promise to keep you all up-to-date! ;)
